NETGEAR, a global networking company, announced the
launch of NETGEAR ProSafe Wireless-N 8-port Gigabit VPN Firewall (FVS318N) that
includes an all-in-one router, wireless-N access point, gigabit switch and SSL
VPN firewall for less than $180.
The FVS318N offers small businesses reliable, affordable
and simple connectivity features that previously came together at a 50 percent
higher cost. A comprehensive suite of remote connectivity support simplifies
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPNs give remote workers
secure connections through a browser. Businesses no longer need to purchase and
configure VPN client software.
Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) VPNs connect the
FVS318N to third-party firewalls in other locations. Businesses may also
purchase NETGEAR VPN software to connect the FVS318N to individual users.
Complete local area network connectivity comes via
Wireless-N WiFi and eight wired Gigabit Ethernet ports. A simple, browser-based
interface with helpful wizards saves time and eliminates complexity when
connecting to ISPs and establishing VPNs.
As with all NETGEAR ProSafe business-class firewalls, the FVS318N is
housed in a steel case and carries NETGEAR’s lifetime warranty.
“Small businesses face the same online security
threats as big businesses, and they need to offer services like remote user
access and connections to remote servers that can’t be fully protected by
consumer-level routers,” said Jeff Wilson, principal analyst
for Security at Infonetics Research.
“Small businesses can now find firewalls with
robust security features like SSL VPN, SPI, configurable DMZ, and DoS
protection, capabilities which until recently were only available
in expensive and complex enterprise-class solutions,” Wilson added.
“The FVS318 product family has been an industry
leader for the better part of a decade. We’re continuing this tradition of
innovation with the FVS318N,” said Jason Leung, senior product marketing
manager for Commercial Security Solutions at NETGEAR.
“We’re committed to delivering smart IT, not big IT,
with products that are reliable, affordable, and simple. The FVS318N embodies
all these qualities and a multitude of connectivity options at an incredibly
affordable price,” Leung added.
NETGEAR recently announced the availability
of the N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router Premium Edition (WNDR3800), the
first home router to offer Clear Channel Selector and the first to create
private cloud file sharing through NETGEAR’s new ReadySHARE Cloud service.
Clear Channel Selector, previously available only in more
costly wireless routers for businesses, automatically detects when the WiFi
channel currently in use becomes overcrowded and switches to another
less-crowded channel.
